Lecture 26 Data paths

The CPU can be described by control paths and data paths.

This lecture will follow a few instructions through the
data paths indicated in the architecture schematic in
lecture 24

We then consider instruction timing and the possible
improvement of having higher clock speeds with a
pipelined computer architecture.
